Example of Matching Non-Consecutive Features
Non-consecutive runs of the same feature code will be automatically strung together in the order they are collected. This does, in effect, require that all linear features in the collected data must be uniquely identified to provide a quality result.
Example Code Sequence:
CL01
CL01
CL02
EP01
CL01
BC01
CL02
CL01
EP01
The above coding sequence would create linear features for CL01, CL02, and EP01.
BC01 would not make a linear feature, because there are no matching codes within the data.
Note: Any feature codes entered in Feature Exclusion list would not be considered for Non-Consecutive Linking.
4. Linear Feature Linking
To set the Linear Feature Linking, click Linear Feature Linking then select from the menu.

5. Feature Exclusion
-
a. Feature Exclusion is utilized in conjunction with the Linking Methods to assign specific codes that will NOT be connected by linear features. Example codes may be ground shots, power poles, manholes, etcetera.
-
b. To assign the Feature Exclusions, click Feature Exclusion then click the browse button.
-
c. On the Feature Exclusions dialog, specify the exact code (Equal), the code prefix, the code suffix or characters that codes contain to exclude from Linear Feature creation. Add as many items to the list as are necessary and accept the changes.
